Tony Fernandes is something of a celebrity CEO. He is a former host of “The Apprentice Asia.” In 2001, he and his partners bought Air Asia for just 25 cents and turned it around. Now he is facing a much tougher challenge. Poppy Harlow looks at how Fernandes' handling of this disaster is different from the actions of Malaysia Air’s CEO following the disappearance of Flight 370.

There were 162 men, women and children on board Air Asia Flight 8501. Many of their loved ones gather at the airport in Surabaya, Indonesia hoping for news. Andrew Stevens is there with the latest on their agonizing wait.

The U.S. is joining the search for Air Asia Flight 8501, sending in the USS Sampson. It is almost certain that this is a recovery mission, not a rescue mission. Anderson Cooper looks at the plane’s final moments and the search for answers.

Anderson breaks down the factors that make the search for the missing plane so challenging with CNN analysts David Gallo and Miles O’Brien, along with CNN aviation correspondent Richard Quest.

In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, Emerald explains why it was important for her to pay tribute to the fallen officers and what she thought about new protests gathering in NYC despite Mayor Bill de Blasio's plea for a pause in demonstrations until after the officers are buried.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called the slayings of two NYPD officers an “assassination.” Both President Obama and New York City May Bill de Blasio condemned the killings in no uncertain terms. But all three officials came under fire this weekend from critics who accuse them, in one way or another, of creating a climate that placed police officers in jeopardy and ultimately, cost two their lives. But aside for the rhetoric and war words between both sides of the debate, how did we get here? CNN's Martin Savidge reports.

The point-blank shooting of two New York City police officers this weekend is testing whether Mayor Bill de Blasio's brand of unapologetic liberalism can work in a city that's spent decades under mayors who made law and order a top priority.
De Blasio's pledge to reform police practices helped sweep him into office last year. And in recent weeks he's pushed for the right of demonstrators to gather to protest the killings of Michael Brown and Eric Garner, two unarmed African-American men, at the hands of white police officers. But critics - including those in the police force - are accusing him of fomenting an anti-police fervor that contributed to the killings of officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos. CNN's Miguel Marquez has more.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is calling for unity and quiet reflection. "It's time for everyone to put aside political debates, put aside protests, put aside all of the things that we will talk about in due time," he said. "Let's accompany these families on their difficult journey. Let's see them through the funerals ... then the debate can begin again." CNN's Randi Kaye looks back at the lives of the NYPD officers ambushed in Brooklyn, each who dreamed of making a difference.
